Lamborghini R 583 (DT) – air-cooled three-cylinder diesel producing 53 hp at 2,300 rpm from 2,827 cc, with four-wheel drive (doppia trazione), built 1982 to 1985, Lamborghini Trattori
Lamborghini Trattori began as an independent tractor works in Italy, founded by Ferruccio Lamborghini before his later fame as a sports car maker; the tractor business stayed independent of the car marque and has belonged to the SAME group (today SDF, SAME Deutz-Fahr) since the 1970s. The R 583 (DT) is an early-1980s four-wheel-drive tractor built for medium-heavy field work; Italian makers use DT for doppia trazione, meaning four-wheel drive.

The R 583 (DT) is powered by an air-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine of 2,827 cc, producing 53 hp (39 kW) at 2,300 rpm with 169 Nm of torque. At a kerb weight of 1,970 kg it measures 3,300 mm in length, 1,600 mm in width and 2,200 mm in height, on a 2,004 mm wheelbase; top speed is 25 km/h.
An air-cooled three-cylinder of nearly 2.8 litres provides power enough for tillage, mowing and haulage on medium-sized areas. The comparatively high rated speed of 2,300 rpm means the engine develops its power in the upper speed range and needs regular attention to cooling and a clean air filter. Four-wheel drive markedly improves traction on grassland and soft ground compared with a two-wheel-drive version.
When buying a used air-cooled four-wheel-drive Lamborghini of this type, the cylinder cooling fins, the condition of the air filter and the tightness of the valve covers are among the first things to check. On the front axle and the four-wheel-drive joints, intensive field work first shows up as play and noise. Parts for engine and drivetrain are usually still available through dealers specialising in Italian tractors.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
